Game Thread: Port Royal

[dongriffiths]

This is unfortunate, I was hoping that we could reach an amicable accommodation but it does seem that everything Fendon touches just lands other people deeper in the nasty stuff.

I almost hope Mielo catches him

From the doorway Alphonse spins and fires aiming for Fendons thigh



Lets get a move on!

Before we go, lets clean our DNA off that tables and make sure Fendon's DNA and prints are well and truly present!

And a search of his person seems prudent. You never know what he has stashed in his pockets, clothing, etc.

Dmitri

OK…but make it quick. We gotta get this tablet and cred stick back to Mielo.

And he sets off to the bathrooms to see if there’s bleach or other cleaner he can use to wipe surfaces down. He’ll wipe everywhere he remembers people touching during their time there.

He will take a moment to see if he can access Fendon’s tablet…either use the bimetric features to gain finger or face print entrance or, failing that, try a quick hack. He just wants to see if there’s anything there that can help them get out of the situation.

Anytime Fendon appears to be stirring in recovery, Dmitri will zap Fendon with a touch from his stun stick. He’ll deliver another just before leaving for good.

Fendon's eyes go wide as Alphonse spins and aims. "Don't taze me bro!" he shouts just before a loud snap and two barbs trailing wires appear in Fendon's leg.

Alphonse - give me 2 damage rolls in your next post please
1 roll 3d6
1 roll 2d6

Other than soap and shampoo Dimitri strikes out in the bathrooms. He's rewarded in the kitchen with a cleaning closet that includes, a mop, bucket, bleach, floor and glass cleaning supplies as well as trash bags and rubber gloves. He drops the supplies with Terry and Rando and attempts to access Fendon's pad.

Dimitri please roll 2d6 to try and hack into Fendon's equipment (+1 for your skill, +1 for having both spoofs) 10+ succeeds. You may make more than one attempt but there may be security countermeasures that kick in after multiple failures.

Alphonse watches dispassionately as to twin darts fly into Fendons thigh





He pockets the taser twitching his nose slightly at the faint hint of ozone and burnt flesh in the air.

[Thumper]

Dmitri rolls a:


Computer check

Verifying that Fendon is out cold, Dmitri will copy the Master’s Certificate to his hand computer and sift Fendon’s for any other information regarding Mielo, why Fendon is involved with him, the ship and anything that looks like it could help the crew in this situation.

He’ll look up from the tablet and ask his buddies:

And what questions about Fendon would you like to ask the Magic 8 Ball? I’m in.

Fendon tries vainly to stand but is knocked back into his chair by the high voltage shock from the taser. The second blast hits him and he tumbles over backwards and lands on the floor with a wet thud, convulses for a moment then lies still.

Dimitri rushes off looking for cleaning supplies and returns in a few minutes with a bucket full which he hands off to Terry and Rando to start wiping down the hotel room. Fendon lies on the floor unmoving but breathing shallowly. He's unresponsive and out cold.

Dimitri gets to work on Fendon's personal pad and to his surprise is able to get past the biometric locks on the computer. The software from the spoofing equipment must still be running in the background feeding data from Mielo's pad to Fendon's leaving open a back door for Dimitri to exploit.

He quickly find's a folder containing some notes and images of Mielo including a recent travel itinerary where the groups path converged. There is also library entry for a world called Lasher a few parsec's away from Port Royal.

There are15K Credits in accessible form on the pad, another 50K on deposit at a local bank but requiring the account holder's presence to access.

The complex files containing the Master's Credentials are unable to be copied directly but Dimitri could use the spoofing hardware to move the mirroring completely from Fendon's pad to his own instead. He would in effect have an Original of Mielo's computer on his own pad instead of Fendon's.

Not seeing a whole lot we can do with this data other than usurping Fendon's scheme...and I'm no slimy thief. Fendon will be out to get us, and he likely overheard which ship we just bought passage on. But, frankly, he doesn't scare me. If we get Mielo’s tablet back to him, Fendon won't have any cash.

I bet we find a kid or newly broke gambler along the way back to our rooms that will want a few hundred to drop a box off at the hotel desk. Maybe pick up a box at Aesop's on the way...he's gotta have some he's throwing away. Alfonse, you're slick with the tongue. Why don't you write a note to put in the box explaining we fell into a Fendon trap and are returning the stuff we thought was his. But let's move...

He'll keep one eye on Fendon ready to zap him with his stun baton if he shows signs of recovering while the crew bags up the trash from the cleanup job and Alfonse scrawls a note. He'll offer to grab the the garbage bag as he heads out of the room, leaving Fendon with all his gear, but Mielo's tab which is in "Airplane Mode'.

[BackworldTraveller]

It's a plan

[Totalguest]

Terry will help cleaning up the room. Alright, sounds good to me. I’m definitely ready to move on after all of this.

The team prepares to leave and takes stock before heading out the door. Fendon remains unconscious on the floor where he fell. Breathing, but out cold and unresponsive. Terry and Rando have cleaned the room as best as they can and carry a trash bag with all the used supplies.

The crew has booked passage on the Jon Stenvallez leaving port tomorrow for Onreon

Passenger Boarding begins at 09:00, all passengers must be on board, cargo stowed by 15:30

Terry - High Passage
Alphonse - High Passage
Rando - dealer's choice - Terry has offered a Low voucher or he can use the Mid Passage he just got from Fendon.
In 1977 Traveller, low passage is not without risk, (2d6, 5+ to live, DM medic 2 = +1, END less than 6 -1)

Dimtri - Working Passage, Gunnery - A note to Dimitri from the ship's steward - Nominally accepted. Present yourself at the ships lock no later than 07:00 tomorrow morning.

Dimitri has Mielo's pad (hacked) and Fendon's pad (hacked and containing an illicit mirror of the Master's Credential for the Wastrel) + the spoofing equipment (disguised as 2 identical decks of playing cards)

Terry has 5,000 in cash presumably belonging to Mielo.

Alphonse finishes the note and affixes it in a sealed envelope to the box containing the pad

What is the address of Mielos place?

He hastily addresses the package and heads down to the concierge.

Can you get this delivered as soon as possible please

Discretely passing over 20 credits as he hands in the package and takes a seat waiting for the others to come down

[Thumper]

He'll offer to grab the the garbage bag as he heads out of the room, leaving Fendon with all his gear but Mielo's tab which is in "Airplane Mode'.

We left Fendon’s tablet and spoofers. Alfonse has since very efficiently sent Mielo’s tablet and credits off to him. Everything will soon be put back to where we found it.

Seeing Alfonse sent it off, Dmitri slaps Alfonse on the bag in an unspoken “nice thinking” then encourages the group to head back to their rooms at the Craters Edge using a circuitous route that would first expose then shake any tails.

Once there, he messages back the ship to confirm he will meet them before 7a.m. the following day. He would ask how early is too early to report to the ship and prove his credentials, as he’s willing to begin work earlier.

He’d clean up, shave off his beard, pack up his gear and await his response. Ideally, he’d like to get to the ship ASAP hoping to beat the establishment of surveillance.

[Totalguest]

Let’s stick together just in case anything comes up. It’s possible I was seen entering or exiting Mielos place and I’m sure they’ll put two and two together.

[Thumper]

I completely agree. But the sooner we get inside the star port, the better to avoid Mielo’s prying eyes. Therefore, I think you all should ask the same question.

07:30 AM

Taking the long way back to the Crater's Edge, the Travellers utilize every mode of transport Twilight's Peak has to offer. The team doubles back, randomly changes directions and makes sudden unpredictable moves to try and either force a mistake by someone tailing them or make it very difficult to follow their route.

They don't catch any tails and three hours later they wind up back their rooms at the Crater's Edge bar. Their rooms appear undisturbed, purchases where they left them.

Dimitri get's a response from the Ship's Steward that he's can visit the ship right away if he wishes. Just a quick credentials check and validating his capability as a gunner. He'll be expected to work once he's accepted but food and accommodations (dual stateroom for the ships 2 gunners) are provided.

@Rando still need to know if you went Low or Mid Passage on your booking.

Financially - Low.
Action wise - Mid.

...Low has it! I'll just have to rely on the rest of the crew to wake me in the event of trouble

[Totalguest]

good luck down there friend.
Terry will accompany Dmitri to the star port, if unable to board early, he will hang around close by the ship while trying to keep a low profile.

[Thumper]

Gutsy move Rando.

Wise move, Terry
